I just finished my stay at the Gran Ventana Resort, and while there were some nice things, overall I had a very poor experience and they run a scam operation, use caution when booking this resort.
Immediately upon my arrival I attempted to check in and was told that my fiancé was not allowed to stay in the resort with my booking. She is from the Dominican Republic and according to Gran Ventana my booking was for foreigners only. They proceeded to charge me 40% more than my original booking, only because I was with my fiancé who is Dominican.
I was planning on meeting with a wedding coordinator and exploring my options about having a wedding at this location in the near future, however any chance of this was immediately erased when they scammed me.
No where in the booking was this ever explained and I advise using extreme caution when both booking on Trip.com and booking at the Gran Ventana Resort. I would love for a representative or a manger to reach out to me.

I had booked at the Tropical beach resort but when I checked in they put me at the Presidential resort, very good and beautiful by the way, huge apartment with bathtub and balcony, overlooking lots of greenery. The resorts are integrated with free transport between them, and you can use the restaurants and common areas of the other integrated resorts. Very good food, great pools and good restaurants, especially at the Cofresi and Tropical Beach resorts. I recommend. The resort condominium is very beautiful and well maintained. A dream trip!!
Birthday celebration- location was perfect. Off season -
Weather in the 90's - more staff than guests. Breakfast at the pool everyday with spectacular views, no one else was there.
Take the classic car tour for 3 hours - well worth it.
Rooms were ideal - spa was most accommodating - booked 2 different massages plus the Romantic Getaway package -
Itself a great deal.
Ana - our reservation specialist was responsive and to the point on all requests.
Greilly our concierge handled all requests even on short notice and gave great advice,
Looking forward to a return trip in the Fall!
There are two areas, old and new. The new building is OK. The old one does not work at all. The food is in the Dominican hotel. Ordinary. There is no special place. The scenery is not bad. It is close to the cruise terminal.
Good food
Hotel should restore it is time already noted in the rooms that thirnen that renovation it is already many years is not the first time that it is visited since 2002
Everything was fine in the facilities, the problem was the penalty they charged me for being Dominican. You should charge everything for the same reservation and not have the awkward moment at check-in time.
I did not stay at the hotel with you I have to pay again because trip. Com lied to me when I was there at the hotel they did not keep my reservation like they told me
I book for two adults and kids stay free laying to me because it wasn’t like that. All I want now is my refund back and the money that I had to pay for my son all because trip. Com lied to me
That’s not fair I want my money back
Good
